  GaryC - there are real problems to address in the real world in a practical way.
  
  Bland statements such as you just came up with do no good at all. There is a serious problem.. and you did suggest what I said. Yes more tax revenue is needed but take note of what Peter said.
  
  If we want more tax revenue then the right measures must be taken to increase that tax revenue and those measures are invariably ones that you would not approve. Higher tax rates for instance will always have a detrimental effect on revenue gained, in fact there is a compounding effect the longer higher tax rates are in place turning a bad situation into an ever declining one.. There is no room for socialistic sentiments in getting this right simply because the genuinely poor and deprived cannot afford that socialist nonsense.
  
  Your attitude seems to be that government is the master and should be allowed to dip into our pockets as and when it sees fit to whatever extent it sees fit. I take the view that government is the servant and we, the people, have the right to protect what we have, within the laws laid down by our democratic parliament, from being stolen by that servant.
